Synopsis

On a colonized world, the original crew of a starship have used technology to make themselves immortal gods of the Hindu pantheon, ruling over their descendants with iron control. One among them, Sam, takes on the role of the Buddha and leads a revolution against heaven itself, wielding both technology and theology as weapons.
